According to statistics of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the number of emergency cases due to exposure to cleaning chemicals and disinfectants increased by about 20% compared to the same period last year. The cause of this situation is that people spend more time cleaning their homes due to COVID-19.
